(B) Cellulose 
(C) Glycogen 
(D) Amylopectin 

List - II: 
(I) β-C1-C4 plant 
(II) α-C1-C4 animal 
(III) α-C1-C4 α-C1-C6 plant 
(IV) α-C1-C4 plant 
 

• A. (A)-(IV),(B)-(II),(C)-(III),(D)-(I)
• B. (A)-(IV),(B)-(I),(C)-(III),(D)-(II)
• C. (A)-(III),(B)-(II),(C)-(I),(D)-(IV)
• D. (A)-(IV),(B)-(I),(C)-(III),(D)-(II)

Hint:

In biochemistry, the type of glycosidic bonds (α or β) and the organism (plant or animal) help classify carbohydrates.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this matching problem, we need to understand the relationships between the elements in List - I and List - II.

List - I Elements and Their Descriptions:

1. Amylase: An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. It acts on α-C1-C4 glycosidic bonds, typically found in plants.
2. Cellulose: A polysaccharide consisting of β-C1-C4 glycosidic bonds, found in plant cell walls. It is structurally different from starch due to its β-linkages.
3. Glycogen: A storage form of glucose in animals, characterized by α-C1-C4 and α-C1-C6 glycosidic linkages. It serves as an energy reserve similar to starch in plants but with more branching.
4. Amylopectin: A component of starch, characterized by α-C1-C4 main chains with α-C1-C6 branching points, found in plants.

List - II Descriptions:

1. β-C1-C4 plant: Represents the structure of cellulose.
2. α-C1-C4 animal: Typically related to simple α-linkages found in animal polysaccharides without branching.
3. α-C1-C4 α-C1-C6 plant: Represents amylopectin's structure, an α-linked polysaccharide with branches, found in plants.
4. α-C1-C4 plant: Describes the action of amylase, which acts on α-C1-C4 bonds in plant starches.

Matching:

The correct match is determined as follows:

• (A) Amylase: Matches with (IV) α-C1-C4 plant.
• (B) Cellulose: Matches with (I) β-C1-C4 plant.
• (C) Glycogen: Matches with (III) α-C1-C4 α-C1-C6 plant.
• (D) Amylopectin: Matches with (II) α-C1-C4 animal 

Correct Option:

(A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(II)
